Bed rails top your truck bed with the wicked appearance of smooth black or mirror-polished steel. A matte finish can lend a tough edge to your vehicle. Or, some extra shine can do your truck's body good and is sure to turn heads. Bed caps can bring smooth and rugged looks with the best of them, too–not just for a fresh appearance, but also for covering old marks. Premium protection for the paint on your bed rails A key function of bed caps and bed rails is stopping damage before it hits your paint. Loading boxes, tools, bikes and more gets much less precarious with your bed top protected by a set of bed caps. And, they're custom-molded to the exact shape and size of your vehicle, leaving no space uncovered. Bed rails are also effective guardians, rejecting items that would otherwise dent your bed. They keep large cargo from bashing either at the cab or at the gate, along with safe containment of stacked loads thanks to heightened tie down points.

Use 9 layers of newspaper. No matter what method you used, chemical or non chemical, you are now ready to fill the planting bed with topsoil. Put 8 to 12” of good rich topsoil in the bed. Make sure the soil is higher in the back, closest to the wall, so the water drains away from the building. If you are creating an island planting make the center of the bed the highest point. Make sure the topsoil you buy is well drained and rich in organic matter. Buying topsoil is a tricky game, you’ve got to be careful and shop around. Topsoil is one item that you do not want to order over the phone, sight unseen. This is what you are looking for when buying topsoil: Topsoil that is rich in organic matter will be very dark in color. If the soil is light in color it is probably just fill sand. The other thing you’ve got to watch for is how well drained the soil is. Topsoil that has a clay base is poorly drained and sticky, and your plants will not be happy at all. They might even die if they are too wet. Once a clay based topsoil dries out it gets very hard. Today most topsoil is run through a screener to remove the clumps, rocks, roots, and sticks. There is nothing wrong with buying unscreened topsoil, especially if you’ve visually inspected it and have found it to be of good quality.

Once you have the outline of the bed established and marked, mix up some RoundUp and spray all the grass and weeds inside the bed area. Do not put RoundUp in a sprayer that you intend to use for other purposes. You need a sprayer that is dedicated for the use of herbicides. When applying the spray, be very careful not to let the spray drift onto the grass and other plants that you do not want to kill. To minimize spray drift, adjust the spray nozzle so the spray pattern is narrow and the droplets are larger. A wide, fine spray pattern is sure to drift outside of the intended area. Also keep the pressure in the sprayer quite low. Pump it just enough to deliver the spray. High pressure causes the spray to atomize and drift. Apply just enough spray to wet the foliage. If you have liquid dripping off the blades of grass, you are applying too much. More is not better. Once sprayed, be careful not to step in the area that has been sprayed. Many people have had golden footprints across their lawn because they forgot and walked through what had been sprayed. This is the difficult part, and the part that many people do not get, so pay close attention. The only way that the RoundUp can possibly work is if you leave it alone. Did you get that? Once you apply the RoundUp, don’t do another thing with that bed for 72 hours. That’s three very long days.

These can be good as there is usually room for a bit of fleece or blanket inside, which is not only cozy for the cat, but keeps the cover of the bed a bit cleaner that it might otherwise be.

Another foam filled type of cat bed is similar to that described above but a little more like a traditional dog kennel in shape being completely covered over with a door shape for entry. Cats have a nesting instinct so some like this arrangement. Equally, if there are other animals or small children in the house, your cat may feel more secure with his own little "house" to retire to for peace and quiet. These beds can actually be heated but unless your cat is very old, this really shouldn't be necessary.

Most cats moult on and off throughout the year, so some sort of mat or blanket to put on their favourite chair can be useful. You can whip it off and hide it if visitors come and the furniture shouldn't be too hairy.

If your cat is a real heat junky, you can buy a sheepskin hammock type arrangement, which you can hang on a radiator. However, this won't be suitable for an old cat as agility is the key when getting in and out of these things.

She would bake two loaves; one for my brother and me, and one for her and Grandpa. There has never been bread like Grandma's. To a kid, the forty minutes it took to bake seemed like hours. Every five minutes we would holler out, wondering if the bread was done, and she would always answer with what seemed were the only words she knew when it was bread baking time: Shoo, you two!

When the bread finally emerged from the oven, we knew it must be what heaven smells like. Oaten, buttery, nutty, and brown-sugary with a heaping helping of Grandma Love, spoken as we would sit and wait for it to cool. Due to our impatience, she would always cut it before it was ready; it would be a little squished but it didn’t affect the heavenly taste.

We once had a collision with the bed and the bread. There was only one rule that my brother and I had to obey at Grandma’s, and that was no food on her feather bed. I don’t know if you have ever smelled feathers that have been in contact with anything moist, but believe me, you don’t want to know.

We were each eating our half a loaf when the doorbell beckoned Grandma away from us. Mrs. Jackson, the next door neighbor, knew that my brother and I loved her biscuits and jam. Kindness, and a little competitive baker's envy compelled her to whip up a plate and bring it over. As Grandma and Mrs. Jackson stood outside gossiping about the latest news down at the post office, my brother took off with all the bread, including my half, snatched right out of my hands.

I soon was chasing him and squealing in mock anger, but he only laughed and ran into Grandma’s bedroom.

Or they might be wrought with intricate, flowing lines, perhaps painted or anodised, or even left in their natural state. The brass bed frame is a famous example. Even the Far East became involved with the introduction of the Futon bed frame which hit the headlines some years ago and virtually became a fashion accessory. So you see, bed frames are versatile, simple and can be a great way to enhance the style and look of your bedroom. Then there is the more elaborate, and one might say, luxurious sleeping apparatus…the Divan bed. Not a bed frame as such, but still built on a framework, with inner springs for comfort, and topped by a sprung mattress. Like the bed frame there are numerous styles and examples of the Divan. They can be reasonably inexpensive, made from fairly standard materials. Or they can be extremely sophisticated, created from fine silks and cashmere, and stitched with gold thread or silver. Divan beds are a completely different animal when compared to the wood or metal bed frame. But it is well worth bearing in mind that there is no one way to achieve sleeping comfort, and whether you go for a Bed frame or Divan bed, It still requires a degree of thought. Go to your local bed shop. Look at the range of bed stocked there and ask for advice. Someone who knows his trade will be able to steer you in the right direction.

The said event will host other technologically advanced features and the Starry Night bed is expected to draw a lot of attention. It is equipped with technologies which can play movies and songs, as well as adjust its own temperature.

Mark Quinn, group executive vice president for sales and marketing at L & P's bedding division said that consumers' wants are what they have in mind in developing the high-tech bed. "Consumers told us they use their beds for much more than sleep," said Quinn. "The bed is a place for reading, watching movies, spending time with the kids, listening to music and even folding laundry."

For al its technological features, the Starry Night bed though does not have the ability to fold laundry. But one can lounge on its comfortable mattress while folding laundry.

What the Starry Night bed can do though is considered to be better than folding laundry. It is equipped with a vibration sensor which was originally developed for the military. The vibration sensor gathers information about the sleeping habits of the bed's occupant/s. It gathers information by sensing how much the person/s toss and turn during sleep. After it has gathered information within a month, it uses its Good Morning Screen to share tips for improved sleep quality to the occupant of the bed.
